Th e vessel, after having been five bolus under water, began to appear about half-ebb, and several boats from Lytham - and Southport went down to her, and s ucceeded in bringing atv.y some of her rigging, &c. Three of the bodies of the crew wer. - found upon the s and-bar: k, by the Lytham boats , about half a mile from the vessel, and were brought up here ; one of them is a remarkable ti:te looking young man, and is supposed to be the captain's son. A fourth man was found by the South port boats, and conveyed to that place. The inhabitants of Lytham are paying every respect to the bodies brought here, and they will be decently interred to day. The yes z,rel is not yet gone to pieces, and should the weather be moderate, she may, prof ,ably, be raised. The schooner, (which has been recognised by some of the seamen belong ing to this port) it seems, hits been regularly em ployed in carrying stone for the Corporaion works at Liverpool." On Thursday, about noon, it then blowing a gale from the westward, the Mary, Hogarth, from Liverpool for Berbice, laden with a general ca:.go of merchandise, went on shore on the north wharf, about four miles from ltosaiL So soon as the tide permitted, the captain, crew, and a female passenger came on shore. In the afternoon great exertions were mad.) by Mr. Kemp and Mr. Berridge, assisted by the pilots at Knot End and others, to get out as much as pos sible of the cargo before it became dark, as, from the ap pearance of the weather, there was every probability that the ship would go to pieces in the night.: They succeeded in landing two horses and a great quantity of small pack ages, which were in the cabin, part of the ship's stores. As was anticipated, the ship parted about twelve o'clock on Thursday night, and is now, with the cargo, strewed along the coast from Blackpool to the entrance. of the w Wyre we Every exertion Is making to secure th e cargo, which hope will be erected.

At the conclusion of the learned Gentlemen's argument, a desultory conversation took place between /Counsel on either side and the Committee, when fr The CHAIR7:IAN intimated that the Committee were about to retire. fie was not the nominee of either of the par ties, but bef)re the Committee retired, he wished to know, whether tho' Learned Gentleman (Mr. Wrangham) intended to preclude the clerk from looking into the poll books when it was dc!cided by the Committee that the name of a voter should be' removed? Counel for the petitioner made no reply. The Committee then retired, and after a few minutes' de• liberation, the Clerk read the decision of the Committee, con firmatory of the resolution adopted yesterday. Fourteen voters were then struck off the poll of the peti timer, by consent of their agent, which gave Mr. O'Connell a majority of 12 over Mr. West, and 8 over Mr. Hamilton. The vote of Charles Dunns was then objected to by Mr. litessiger, on the ground of insolvency, and was under dis . ussion when pur reporter left.

The mother, in consequence, appears to have stated thus : she never dared to nurse the child in her husband's presence, but he being absent she went to it as it lay on the bed', and feeling it very cold, wrapped it up in a blanket, and laid it on the hearth to warm it. She wn.s putting the hot water into the ;tea-pot, but instead of doing so, she nouretl it 00 the child's face. This statement has been called in question. The wife had, however, called in a female neighbour to see how her husband had hurt the child by knocking its little head against the wall. She further stated that he bad bent its little bac!: double. It was also ill supplied with fond, and so hun gry that on one occasion it devoured eagerly a whole basin of porridge. A post inortent examination of the body was made, and the medical opinion. expressed was that the child was never healthy one, and bad died of: natural disease, hastened lei' the J umlication of boiling water: The inquest was adjourned to allb - d time fnr the prodaction of further evidence.

Our Tory Contemporaries, one and all , are up in arms against the Home Secretary, for having neglec ted to appoint a Mr. THOMAS DANIEL, one of the Magistrates for the City of Bristol, under the Muni cipal Reform Act. We arc not at all surprised at this —neither will the country, if it take into consideration Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S objection to an appointment recommended by the Tories of Bristol. The Noble Lord, in answer to certain interrogatories put to the Government by Sir ROBERT PEEL, stated that he had struck Mr. DANIEL'S name from the Council's list of Magistrates, because he had understood that that Gen tleman had attained the venerable age of eighty, and that, as might be expected, those faculties which he would be called upon to exercise on the Bench were greatly impaired. His Lordship further observed, that so sensible was Mr. DANIEL himself of his inade quacy to discharge Magisterial functions, in conse quence of his great age, that he had previously de clined the honours of the Mayoralty. One would think th;rt there was nothing in this rejection of Mr. DANIEL savouring of any policy, but that of securing for the people an active and an efficient magis tracy. But so thought not the Tories. They flew into a rage at the bare idea of deafness and blindness being thought disqualifications in a candidate for a seat on the magisterial bench. Those who know the :Tories well, will perceive nothing remarkable in this. It is a happy illuFaration of their whole system. " The venerable gentleman, from Lis advanced age and natural infirmities, is incapable of discharging the functions of an acting magistrate," deprecatingly urges Lord JOHN RUSSELL. " What," shout the Tories in chorus, "is it really come to this? Snail we have no more magistrates, save such as possess the faculties of seeing and hear ing ? What then becomes of our glorious Constitu tion ? De the Whigs propose to make the people of Enriand - believe that cur venerable ancestots were in= debted to such common-place faculties as seeing and heeding, for those montunents of liberty which they hare handed down to us ? Blindness and deafness were never regarded as disqualifications for any office in this country, before the Whigs grasped the reins of power. \V hat matters it to a Government whether a magis trate can or cannot hear a word that is addressed to him, if he have influence enough to have his penal convictions enforced by the proper authorities ?" Justice is painted blind : the Tories are for regularly bandaging the eyes of the dispensers of her gifts. No doubt they have a world of precedents in their favour. It is not quite twenty years since several of the Judges who went regularly on Circuit were so old, and so unconscious of the flisiness passing before them, as frequently to prepare for pronouncing the awful sentence of death upon cri minals convicted of petty larceny. Those who have seen the ;ate Lord NORBURY, toweeds the close -of his judicial career, pill however agree with us, that there is danger to the ssysal sentiments of a people, l eav ing the dispensing of jastiee to men, no m a tt er how respectable, on the verge of dotage, we know nothing of M r . DANIEL, butweP:lriirriYtiliere is great cruelty, as well a s man if est dishonesty, in the Tories thus dragging him before the world in the ligh t of a political martyr. The old gen- suN. tleman is. said to have taken an active part in resisting ti • re triumphi nnph of liberal principles—he s reported to Lave spent a long fife in open arms against the Whigs. Why, then, is he not now suffered peacefully , to retire into the privacy of his own family, that the evening of his days may be spent as becomes a Chris tian, conscious that he stands on the verge of e'.er tritv ? Why should this poor old man have his infirmities trumpetted, his peace of mind destroyed, and the calm evening of his life clouded to advance the selfish interests of a base, discomfited faction ? It appears that the Tories of Bristol have got up an address to Mr. DANIEL, in which his rejection by the Government is attributed to his principles. His principles indeed I—as if the stability of the Govern ment depended upon the favour of a Bristol 'Municipal Magistrate. Had the Government been so very fearful of the principles of the Bristol Tories, it would hardly have appointed six Tories to occupy the judicial bench of that city. The conduct of the Tories with respect to the Crown's exercise of an undoubted prerogative —the ap pointmeut of the Mauistracv:—has been most scan- Magistracy —has All tenderness for the Executive, in matters which before now were approached with as much re verence by the Conservative organs as a Pharisee would e4hibit in °palling the books of the law, is now flung aside, and we see openly confronting us the revilers of all prerogative. The nation is threatened with Mr. DANIEL'S wrath, and his MAJESTY is in solently charged with having " insulted" the Bristol functionary, by' the exercise of his lawful prerogative ! Here is a sample of Conservative loyalty which we defy SATAN himself to match, Old Grandmamma is in a terrible state about the Foreign appointments of the present Government. She protests that her "peace is gone"—her " heart is broken," in counselling that most indocile of Mi nisters—Lord PALMERSTON. She asks this morn ing, in great alarm, after running over the list of the Foreign appointments," who is there but must tremble at the consequences which so many mistaken delegations of the kingly power but too fearfully repre sent?" This is as pithily as it is pathetically put to all the venerable cronies of Granny ; and we are confi dent that they will all elevate their crutches, and cry " Nobody !" But as we have nothing to do with Granny's coterie, we participate in none of her alarms. The colonies must be governed on the same principle as the mother-country ; and the people of England must have their opinions represented at the Courts of Foreign Powers. The time when the colonies were retained as the heir-looms of certain noble families is no more. We beg to direct particular attention to the sub stance of a Petition from the House of Assembly of Lower Canada to the KING in Council, which will be found in another column. We shall endeavour to find space for a few remarks upon it to-morrow. The Paris papers of Sunday are filled with ru mours on the subject of the war in Spain. They do not, however, contain any statements worthy of notice. The Journal des Dehats devotes a long article to an examination of the relative strength of the belligerents in the Basques, of which a translation will be found in another column. The Courrier Frncais states that the Great Northern PoWers are exerting themselyzs, through their representatives at Paris, in procuring the issuing of the last series of tl.Greek Loan. Of course the Bavarians are in want of money. As to the Greeks, all they will have to do with the loan will be to pay the interest of it, with a view to enrich Royal fa vourites. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Saturday to re ceive petitions.

PARIS, APRIL 3.—A letter from Behohia of the 27th March says, " The Christino Commandant of La Rioga has imposed a fine of twenty francs per month on all fathers of families whose sons are with the Carlists. This contri bution is" levied by Martin Basco, commander of the peseteros of that district." The Deputation of the Province of Guipuscoa has made at Tolosa the necessary preparations to receive there Don Carlos, with his suite and his Ministers, on the 25th or 26th. He will be escorted by a battalion of the Guides of Alava, and the Sacred Company. ATROCITIES COMMITTED AT SARAGOSSA.--A Madrid Journal contains the following explanation relative to the new atrocities lately perpetrated at Saragossa :—" The Archbishop of Saragossa, the Count de Fuentes, Don G. A. Fuevillas, Don Pio Elizardo, the Count de Neugrette, and Lieutenant-General Vilmur, had been brought -before the Tribunals on accusation of conspiracy, but by an indulgence these indiViduals were set at liberty. Fifteen months afterwards the proceedings were resumed before the Criminal Tribunal of Arragon, and Don Manuel Sahun, Advocate of the Royal College of Saragossa, was appointed to conduct it. The dilatoriness with which the proceedings had at first been conducted, and the indul gence shown to the accused, had irritated the people ; some, indisposed, took advantage of this temper of the minds of the inhabitants to compel the authorities to act in a manner unworthy of the dignity of the constitutional cause, and of the Spanish character. A handful of rioters demanded the sacrifice of a great number of individuals ; Don Manuel Villardor, J. Robires, and El Aquader, were selected to satisfy the thirst of blood of the rioters. The first two were executed without having been heard or defended ; the third had the same fate, though he had been condemned to ten years' banish ment to a - Presidio. The Judges composing the Court re fused to sanction by their signature such atrocious execu tions. If the proceedings had not been conducted at the outset with dilatoriness and partiality the trial would have terminated in a shorter time, and in a more legal manner, and the constitutional cause would not have been sullied with a stain that dishonours it." - The correspondent who - sends us this extract has for gotten to mention from what paper he borrowed it, so that we do not know to whom the Spanish Ministry had con fided tile melancholy task of finding palliatives for such cx cesses.—Messager, April 3. Died yesterday evening, at Ely House, Dover treet, the Bishop of Ely, in the 77th year of his age. A HINT TO TIIE DERBY DILLY.—AB address is now in course of signature amongst the freeholders in the neighbourhood of Brampton, calling upon Sir James Graham to resig❑ his seat for East Cumberland—his conduct in Par_ liarr.er,t, since the last election, " having been most unsatis factory"—" in direct opposition to their views," arid " incon sistent with his previous acts and professions." It is already numerously signed ; and similar addresses are expected to be got up in each of the other polling districts. —Carbsle Journal. - - STAMP DUTY ON NEWSPAPERS.—A meeting of • the Radical Association of Mary-le-bone was convened for yesterday, at twelve o'clock, to be holden at Primrose-hill, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the total repeal of the stamp.duty on newspapers, and also for the remission of the sentence of Hetherington and Cleave. At three o'clock Dr. Wade was called to the chair, which was placed on the summit of p r i nireg e.hill, and surrounded by about 200 of the holiday- folk, who had been amusing themselves on the grounds of Chalk Farm. The Rev. Chairman explained the object of the mecti3g, and resolutions in conformity with the object for they would have made, for which it was convened were , unanimously passed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Having just read the appointment of Lord Bru denell to the 11th Light Dragoons, I cannot refrain from congratulating the public on the restoration of such an ex "eellent officer to the service of his country, and who, from his acknowledged talent in his profession, ought to be looked upon as one of the smartest officers we have, whose ap pearance in uniform on horseback is the beau ideal of per fection, and whose rank, fortune, and education. tend to make him sufficiently independent, to withstand all influence in the administration of justice to all under his command, whether Major, Captain, Cornet, or Private, and this is a trait in his character not always met with in these times. Indeed, I know, notwithstanding he may have some failings incidental to human nature, there are those, and not a few, who would have more pride and pleasure in serving under his Lordship's command than that of any other in his Ma jesty's service ; and I have no doubt that, under him, the 11th soon will be what the 15th lately were, the pattern regiment for field manceUvre. As you may be asked, Mr. Editor, who wrote the above, you may as well state—one who has served as an officer in cavalry as well as infantry, abroad as well as at home ; who was an observer of his 'Lordship's conduct in his late re!li meat at Cork garrison, and whose only inducement for making to you this statement is to do justice to an indivi dual who has been much injured in the estimation of the public.—l am, Sir, your's, &c. March 26, 1836. W. H. B. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria drove and walked in the Parks yesterday. His Majesty's Gate Alms were yesterday distributed, at the Almanry Office, to 168 poor and aged men women. A deputation, including Sir Coutts Trotter, Mr. Abel Smith, and Mr. R. Bell, had an interview with the Chan ceDor of the Exchequer, yesterday, in Downing-street. Viscount Melbourne left his seat, Brocket Hall, Herts, yesterday, to join the party at Panshanger, the residence of Earl Cowper. The Marquis of Lansdowne came to - town, yesterday afternoon, from his residence at Richmond. Messrs. Hammond and Collingwood had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday. LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS. THIS DAY. This morning these Sessions commenced before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Winches ter, Kelly and Pirie. The calendar contained only one case, which was of as sault, to which were added several parochial petitions and appeals. Among the gentlemen called on the Grand Jury-was Mr. Rutter, a Member of the Society of Friends, who was or dered to stand aside. In his address to that body the Re corder said that he wished it to be understood that it was out of no personal disrespect that the propriety of Mr. But ter's service being dispensed with had been suggested, al though members of that respectable body were in law liable and eligible to serve on Grand Juries ; yet, it was produc tive of an inconvenience, as the presentments must be made upon the oaths of a certain portion of the Jury, and upon the " affirmation of another ;" otherwise the the Court would be happy to avail themselves of the intel ligence and experience of the person to whom allusion had been made. His Lordship congratulated the Grand Jury that their labours were likely to be of very short duration. Several persons .who were summoned on the Petit Jury were fined for non-attendance. _ _ Articles of the peace were exhibited by Thomas Mort lock, Esq., banker, at Cambridge, against his nephew, John Frederick Mortlock, who, on divers occasions, it was proved on oath, had threatened to murder him, or do him some grievous bodily harm. The defendant was in Court, and wished to address it, but was not allowed. He entered into his own security in the sum of 5001., and two sureties in the sum of 501. each, to keep the peace for five years. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have Quebec papers to the 30th of February, and Montreal papers to the 4th of March—each being one day later than the former arrivals. The Montreal papers give the Governor's answer to the address of the 23d inst. as follows : " GENTLEMEN'--I request you to acquaint the House of Assembly, that I will, in compliance with the prayer of the Address, transmit the fourth Report of the Standing Committee of Grievances, and the Resolution of the House concurring therein, to his Majetty's Government in Eng land." . CASTLE OF ST. LOUIS, QUEBEC, FEB.27.—The circum stances under which the self-constituted Assembly Ad dress was carried, most satisfactorily demonstrate the 'utter hopelessness of further conciliation, and justify us in having asserted that Mr. Bedard's Quebec minority of the faction was just as revolutionary in principle as Mr. Papi neau's Montreal majority, of those who voted for the un conditional payment of the arrears, and of the supplies of the present year. LOWER PROVINCES.—HaIifax, St. John's, and Frede rictown Papers have arrived. The three Legislatures of these provinces are now sitting—President Wright, of Prince Edward Island, having met the Legislature on the 26th of January. The following is a paragraph from his speech : " There is nothing in the existing state of the colony which needs any particular observation from me. Its ad vancement is steady and progressive, and it must be grati fying to observe that the system of agriculture, the basis of our public wealth, is making great and visible improvement in all its branches." (From the Quebec Paper.) STATE OF THE TIMBER TRADE.—" The Commons' House of Upper Canada have, notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. Roebuck, and the declarations of Mr. Papineau and our Assembly, declared itself in favour of the Timber Pro tection Duties—the minority (among others Mr. Macken zie) being only seven." Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburg mails, with ship-letters from Calcutta of the 13th Novem ber, and from Mauritius of the 6th January. THE FUNDS.

EXECUTION.—On Saturday morning the execution of Charles Batty, who was convicted of wounding Elizabeth Brown, at Sheffield, with intent to murder her, took place at York Castle. As soon as the Jury found the prisoner guilty, the Learned Judge passed sentence of death, in which he held out no hopes of mercy ; but since that time expectations had been entertained that the unfortunate culprit would be re prieved. Since his condemnation, his conduct has been be coming his situation. When the culprit appeared on the scaf fold, he seemed firm, but resigned to his fate; and after being engaged a short time in devotional exercise, he gave himself up to the hands of the executioner, and in a few seconds had ceased to exist. STEAM NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE.- - TRIESTE, MARCH 19.—A very fine steam-boat, 100 horse power, built here for the Austrian Company, for the steam navigation of the Danube, and which is to ply between Con stantinople and Gallacz, left our port yesterday to make its first voyage to Smyrna, which it is expected to accomplish in six days. It will touch at Corfu, where it is to arrive in two days at Athens, the voyage to which will take t wo da ys mo re ; and in the last two days it will perform the voyage to Smyrna. GRETNA-GREEN MARRIAGE:A farmer from the parish of Mortloch was as far as Aberdeen on his way to America, and had forgotten his sweetheart at home in a state of pregnancy. To remind the farmer of his mistake, an officer from Dufliown was dispatched to Aberdeen, who found the forgetful farmer on board a ship, and brought Lim back to Huntly early this morning, where his sweetheart was awaiting. As time would not permit the parties to go through all tho hell a n d known per formed usual solemnities requ ired b y the Church p revious to m arriage, a blacksrni!.h of Op 4911 1 ?11 Pao,PliP for his obliging d i s po s iti o n , Tniuntgered his seryi e the ceremony in time to enablo the happy pair to reach the ship, which was to sail that evening.

There was no novelty at this theatre last night, although it was the opening night of the summer season. The per formances commenced with The Jewess ; and the only change in the caste was in the part of Rachel, Mrs. Slo pan having been substituted in the personation of the he roine for Miss E. Tree. The alteration, however, in no wise detracted from the effect of the piece. The last act of Gustavus the Third followed, by way of interlude, and the entertainments of the evening concluded with the after piece of Chevy Chase. The house was well attended. COVENT GARDEN. The novelty of last night rejoices in the imposing title of Zazezozizu, which will be remembered by our readers as the name also of a production that has lately met with the greatest success at Paris, and a similarly prosperous result will, we doubt not, attend its transplantation to the boards of Covent-Garden. Upon the rising of the curtain the palace and gardens of the Pacha Zazezizozu are disco vered ; his " sublime and beautiful" Excellency (Mr. Til bury), attended by his faithful vizier and fly-catcher, Gros bee (Mr. Vale), and a host of slaves, is wrapt in the arms of Morpheus ; but his slumbers are not peaceful. A hor rible dream disturbs him, which, upon waking, presses so heavily upon his mind, that Cododad, the Astrologer Royal, or king of the necromancers, is instantly sent for, to explain the meaning of the portentous vision which had appeared to the mighty Pacha of Busora, and of all the undiscovered islands beyond the extremity of the world. Cododad ar rives—the dream is narrated. A large and tempting pasty was, as the Pacha dreamt, placed before him, and was im mediately succeeded by the appearance of three cats, intent upon its destruction, which were only prevented from carry ing their purpose into execution by the addition to the party of a beautiful white mouse, upon whom they all in stantly pounced, and for whom a great strife arose among them. A bell was then heard to strike three hundred and sixty-five times, and the Pacha awoke. According to the interpretation of the reader of the planets, the pasty was the Pacha's kingdom—the three cats his three sons, Zizi (Mrs. Almond),. Zozo (Miss Turpin), and Zuzu (Miss Murray), who were desirous of obtaining his kingdom—the little mouse, a beautiful Princess, whom the Paella was re commended to seek, in order to direct their exertions to an other channel—and the 365 tolls of the bell the number of the remaining days of Zazezizozu's life. A difficulty, however, here arises ; the Princes of the Undiscovered Islands have been, by their father's desire, taught to regard all women with horror, and there consequently appears no probabi lity of attracting them by the fascinations of female love liness. The Magician is delighted with the difficulties in which they are placed, and his delight is expressed by a loud and satirical laugh. The " humane" Pacha is displeased, and as a matter of course the Magician be comes, in a few moments, shorter by a head. A very brief period, however, elapses before the trunkless head presents itself, and, amidst the astonishment of the whole Court, directs the Pacha to throw it away, and promises to befriend him. The direction is complied with, and the promise fulfilled. A potent liquid is supplied by the Necromancer, which inspires the Princes with feelings of ardent love ; and a decree is issued for the collec tion of all the demoiselles of the empire, in order •to afford the dewly-inspired devotees every opportunity of making a speedy selection. The next scene represents the grand public square of Busora, in which the maidens are gathered together : the Princes arrive,but not one of the many beauties assembled is sufficiently fortunate to attract the fa vourable notice either of Zizi, Zozo, or Zuzu. Here again the difficulty is removed by the aid of the Magician, who now in troduces the Princess Zaza, " the light of the harem in the comet from which she is descended" (Miss Pincott) the white mouse of the dream. The only question then is to which of the three must the princess be given. And it is finally decreed that the three shall depart on separate voyages of discovery, and that Zaza shall be the bride of the one that shall bring back the greatest curiosity. One is directed to go across the sea, another over the land, and the third through the air ; and the first part or act accordingly concludes with their departure, one in a balloon, another in a steam-boat, and a third on a rail road. At the opening of the second part we find Zizi only one mile distant from Domino, the capital of the dominion of Dominoes. The song, " Yes, to-morrow," from Era Diavolo, is here intro duced with new words, and was sung with much sweetness by Mrs. Almond, though we have frequently heard her in much better voice. Zizi has not remained long in this un 7 - known territory before he is informed that any stranger who may be willing to play a game at dominoes with Dominica the Domineering, will, in case of success, receive a magic telescope, by means of which any person may behold the most remote regions ; but in case of failure, will be turned into a domino. She accepts the challenge, and the scene changes to the Imperial residence of the Queen ; this is truly an admirable scene ; for no- velty of effect, and accuracy and beauty of exe cution, we have scarcely erer seen it equalled. The dresses, too, are of the most tasty and appropriate descrip tion. The whole was loudly applauded. It is here that the game is played. Living dominoes, if we may so call them, are arranged round their respective leaders., viz., Zizi on one side, and the Queen on the other, and a per fect game is played, in which Zizi is victorious. Thus the magic telescope is obtained, the power of the Queen over thrown, and the Queen herself carried ad inferos, by Phos phornox, the red and black fire-fiend, &c. The third part introduces us to the classical region of the Island of Chess, where, in the Royal Exchequer, are assembled the Empe ror of all the Ebonies, with his Empress, his knights, bi shops, castles, and pawns on the one side ; and the Sultan of all the Ivories, with a similar train, on the other, and about to engage in a mortal conflict respecting the disputed possession of a certain miraculous fish, which will convey any person, seated on its back, into whatever quarter of the globe he may please. The fight commences—some of the pawns, and a knight on each side, have advanced, when the Queens pray for a cessation of hostilities, which is ultimately conceded, upon the understanding that the disputes is to be referred to the first stranger that touches upon the island. At this period Zozo arrives, and being called upon to decide the dispute, adopts the course best calculated to effect that object, by getting on the back of the fish, and thus taking away all grounds of dissension. To the whole of this scene the oh. servations made upon that of the dominoes apply with equal if not greater force ; the exhibition was perfect. Miss Tur pin gave in very good style Rodwell's " Starry night," and Auber's " Diavolo Diavolo !" which have been introduced into the piece with much taste. In the next scene, " The Mountains of the Moon," two of the wandering brothers, Zizi and Zozo,tneet, and relate their different adventures. The duet, " My pretty page," here inserted, was excellently sung, and received the honour of an encore. Having de termined to ride back together on the flying fish, they de part, and the third part is concluded. The Kingdom of the Cards, which is the scene of the fourth part, and in which Zuzu figures, is deserving of no less a share of approbatioe, as a picture, than the two preceding scenes. The state of affairs in that kingdom is most woeful, the Kings of Clubs, Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds having been robbed of their cares sposas, who are kept close prisoners in the Tower of Cards by Heartoclubodiamondospado, the " wielder of the unique shield" (a shield emblazoned with an ace of spades— motto, "Duty, one shilling"). With this demo n Z uzu , h av i ng very opportunely arrived, engages, and is victorious. The Queens are released, and, as a reward, the young Prince re ceives a bouquet of roses, capable of restoring the bloom of health to the most faded and withered cheek. At this moment Zizi and Zozo arrive, and having embraced one another, the three brothers depart again for the territory of their father, where, upon their return, they find the Pacha, almost dead with fear, only two hours of the 365 days re maining, and the Princess . Zaza sinking gradu a lly i nto t h e grave, 'from an illness which the physicians professed them. selves unable to cure. What the physicians, however, wore unable to accomplish was immediately effected by the magic rose ; and Zaza again becomes the subject of dispute be tween the three brothers, each supporting his own claim. The magician's head appears, his laugh is heard, and he subsequently directs that which would appear the most na tural course—the lady to make her own choice, which falls upon Zuzu. The magician's head and body, so law sepa rated, become once more united, and the scene clianP's' to the Palace of the Heart's First Love, where Venus, rising in her silver shell from the Fountain of a Thousand Dia monds,repsieteidess the fulfilmentocTr the union of th of Zuzu dream,zuandiaaa, the event w i pm which completes and averts the fate of Zazezizozu. The scenery . is admirable, the dresses are in the hi g h est d egree per f ect; There is a liveliness and naivet e running throughout, but particularly observable in the first two parts, which is seldom to be met with in pieces of this class, and which produced its full effect upon the audience, by keeping them in a con ti nue d roar o f laughter. S ome s li g ht and judicious curtailment of the latter part would, * however, be an improvement. LYCEUM. A new drama, entitled Lucille; ar, the Story of a Heart, was produced.s-at this theatre last night. St. Cyr, subse quently De Vavasour, a blind young emigre in the most stormy times of the first French revolution, finds himself in Malines, saved from death by a costive dragoon horse , through the deVotieln o' g young country girl, Lucille ( Mrs. Keeley), dauglitcr. of an old farmer, Vernet (Mr. Williams). He finds a home in their house—a friend in the old man, and an ardent, a devoted admirer in the maiden, who had risked her own life to save his. By the skill of a celebrated oculist he is restored to sight. Just then the army of the Sombre and the Meuse are marching through Brabant, on their route to Toulon, to embark for Egypt. A combina tion of circum s t ances occur to di v ert for awhile the curr en t of his affection, and th e t e mpting offer of a captaincy in th e le gion so fires his ambition that he leaves his love and his friends on slight persuasion, and embarks in search of glory. H e finds • -- - • wounds and blindness among the sands of tho EgYP ti ' ln de sert ; and, after a lapse of two years, returns once More to Europe. He passes through the. city of Malines on his way to the North of France, where his paternal estate lay. A t this juncture Lucille, who has sorrowed deeply , during, his absence, persuaded by her father, consents to give her hand :to Andri Du Bois, a neighbouring farmer ; but, previ" her marriage, learning that an officer of the Egyptian army_ is in th e t own , i m p e ll e d by h er love for him who abandoned her, she seeks him out to ask for intelligence of him. scene well wrought up; and capitally acted, ensues, and end' in a reconciliation. The bye-play of Miss P. Horton as Julia, subsequently Mrs. Schuyp, and Mr. Oxberry, as Schuyp, was well sustained, and afforded much"amusemennt t to the audience. It is entitled A Day Well . Speht. was performed with an admirable cast of the company, an d it is not saying too much to add, that all sustained their re putation in it. The Cornish dlliners followed the entertain ments of the evening. • ST. JAMES'S. Last night, Mr. Morris Barnett had a benefit at the above theatre, and the Louse was crowded to excess. nu" ring the performance of the second piece, Perftction, the area of the theatre became suddenly filled with smoke, r companied with a strong smell of burning timber. A P.: tion of the audience became Marmed, the persons in the pi , rose simultaneously, and several hastened out. A call w 5 made for the manager, when Mr. Forester, who was on the stage, having communicated with a person in the orchestra, came forward and addressed the audience in the following terms :—" Ladies and Gentlemen—l have reason to beli°v e that you are labouring under a false alarm of fire. I can, assure you that the smoke you perceive in the house, 1-1(1. the smell of burning, arises solely from a fire which has Jot been lit in one of the adjoining dressing rooms ; and tha t there is not the slightest cause of alarm."—(App lausc.) This timely assurance caused confidence to be restore d, but some few persons left the theatre. The performance s were subsequently resumed without further interruption. SURREY. The holiday entertainments here are full and varied. The first piece, The Ocean c f Life, exhibits T. P. Cooke' in his own element. The thunders of the upper gods pre vented our catching any part of the story of the piece (which we understand to be written by Mr. Haynes), but the writer must have calculated well upon his audienex,jl asmuch as he made every position tell. The story, as we as we could judge of a pantomime—for it was only such to us—told well in all its situations. It was one of those domestic things which tell to our bosoms, so as to make us re-visit and re-report. The house was a bumper. SADLER'S WELLS. This theatre (the property of Mr. Osbaldiston) reopenal last night under new management, with a new corePanr (Mr. Campbell, the acting manager, excepted), new piel and stage scenery. When the doors were thrown oPen. 7_ gods, what crushing and screaming ! In half an hour thee house was a bumper "flowing over ;" and if one Unti e judge from the clapping, whistling, and screaming in tae pit and gallery, with an occasional relish of a row, the !Di a ; jority of the audience must have been in a very and merry humour. The proprietor has begun well, and the stage manager, Mr. Campbell, may be proud of his coocll pany, and his scenic display. The first piece was Paul Clffi r _ A Mr. Edwin, who sustained the character of Paul Cliff"' sung some good songs, especially " Hurrah for the road." 111 which he was encored, and which we believe part of hi s audience would be never tired of hearing. The next Piel was Harlequin Guy Fawkes, the Christmas pantomite°l Covent-Garden, with which the play-going public are ready well acquainted, and which we can assure them 1 1 lost none of its power of amusement by being transplante to another scene. The whole passed off very well. 31 , r — Campbell was evidently a favourite, Mr. Roberts did bps part well, as did Miss Lebatt and Miss Lee, who sang owe pretty airs. Mademoiselle Rosier danced a characteristia dance, a repetition was called for and deservedly. excitabt ASTLY'S. Astley's on E as t er Monday E presents in itself a scene - far t better worth viewing than the most amusing of the alwas ie g pieces which are usually brought out here. Except thrAt it 1 5 a sort of point of re-union for the. holiday folks, whe;re they f can discuss their a d ven t ures , an d ta lk over t h e pleasures ° f the day, we never could discover why they should crowd t o Astley's on Easter Monday. For them all the " vast r e " of ,t sources" the theatre are brought info play to be sure, bu ilt , as far as the attention which they design to bestow on t he . display of those resources is concerned, they might as we i . have been kept in modest obscurity. The new piece vs . ra i s ' t called The Fire of London and the Plague of 1665, vy b ` c re was continued through three mortal acts. There 1 . ", 0 some grand cavalcades and processions, and, according the bill, " the Royal body guard embraced fifty aecou t , t e r h e e steeds and twenty quadrupeds." A s t o th e mer its or ". d• piece, however, it is impossible to s a y one wor d . The 'le. ing was, as usual, ex c ellent. D ucrow ' s genius in t his r t spect is so well known as to render one word of conlil len superfluous. The whole performance was agreeably re lieved by two or three fights, and if Astley's on E a ster Monday is to be considered ea the acme of fashion, it maY be as well to announce to our reader that coats and waist' coats are to be discarded. for the ensuing season.
